1920s London Street Sign - Upper Grosvenor Street W.1. - City of Westminster
City of Westminster - Upper Grosvenor Street W.1.
Original vitrolite nameplate with etched and painted lettering, presented in a custom-made oak frame. Produced for the City of Westminster. Vitrolite panel measures 59cm x 47cm x 0.8cm. Condition: Wonderful in-situ condition, some chips and loss to the edges and some minor marks on the sign face.
This stunning vitrolite (‘milk-glass’) nameplate for Upper Grosvenor Street in the City of Westminster was produced shortly after the introduction of numbers to the London postcode (1917).
Upper Grosvenor Street, built on what was the Grosvenor Estate, is situated between Grosvenor Square and Park Lane in Mayfair, London (City of Westminster). Upper Grosvenor Street has long been considered one of the best streets even within Mayfair; Indeed, the Grosvenor Board stated in its minutes of 1918 that 'the street was looked upon as one of the finest residential properties on the estate or in Mayfair’. It is no surprise that property prices on Upper Grosvenor Street are among the highest in the world.
Vitrolite, sometimes referred to as Milk-glass or Opal glass, was developed at the beginning of the 20th century. Vitrolite nameplates were particularly common in the Borough of Holborn and City of Westminster. These glass panels were mounted in wood or metal frames and easy to keep clean. Just a bit of paint added to bring faded lettering back to life.
